WARNING!

Cargo must be securely tied before driving your vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in personal injury or property damage. Follow the Roof Rack Cautions when carrying cargo on your roof rack.

LOAD LEVELING SYSTEM

The automatic load leveling system will provide a level riding vehicle under most passenger and cargo loading conditions.

A hydraulic pump contained within the shock absorbers raises the rear of the vehicle to the correct height. It takes approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) of driving for the leveling to complete depending on road surface conditions.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 187

If the leveled vehicle is not moved for approximately 15 hours, the leveling system will bleed itself down. The vehicle must be driven to reset the system.

WARNING!

Do not install the load leveling system on vehicles that are not equipped with Anti-Lock Brakes. Ve- hicles without Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) have a height-sensing proportioning valve. Installing a lev- eling system will render this system ineffective, inappropriately reducing rear brake pressure, result- ing in increased stopping distances. You could have an accident.
